Viña Errázuriz Las Pizarras Pinot Noir 2023 6 Pack

Las Pizarras, a Burgundy approach in Chile Las Pizarras project,  initiated in 2014 by Viña Errazuriz, embodies a commitment to uncovering the extraordinary terroir of the Aconcagua Coast. Rooted in a terroir-centric philosophy, Las Pizarras represents a paradigm shift in quality for cool-climate Chilean wines. Situated within the Aconcagua Costa D.O., these limited-production wines, akin to Grand Cru, epitomize a distinctive character shaped by metamorphic rock and slate. Benefitting from the nearby Pacific Ocean's cool influence and well-drained soils rich in laminar rock, Las Pizarras vineyards yield Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Syrah of unparalleled complexity, depth, minerality, and natural acidity. Las Pizarras Pinot Noir originates from three distinct plots,  measuring 0,8ha, 0,7ha and 3,1ha, each possessing unique characteristics. The soil of these three plots is highly influenced by metamorphic rocks. The weathering of this substratum occurs and increases along vertical fissures (joints), producing loamy residual materials. This important weathering allows a good development of the root system in the deeper layer, giving our wines their characteristic minerality, complexity and freshness. The 2023 vintage: Climatic Conditions: 2023 was an outstanding year in Aconcagua Costa, with a later start and a gentle and paced ripening period, that delivered bright and energetic wines. During winter we had more rainfall and colder temperatures than the previous years. The beginning of spring continued with this cool trend. In December, temperatures picked up with a heat summation that was 19% higher than average. It triggered a short and even veraison that was very favourable for a homogeneous ripening. The summer months were cooler, particularly February, due to many days with morning fog and this delayed the beginning of harvest in one week. Towards the end of March, heat accelerated the maturation of the late-ripening varieties. The season was marked by a good balance between texture and tension, with fresh aromas and a mineral finish. Tasting notes: "Medium-layer cherry red color, with floral aromas evoking rosehip, subtle hints of pink pepper, red cherries, and truffles, framed by elegant notes of sweet spices and cedar. On the palate, it highlights a floral entry and a red fruit finish, such as cherries, intertwined with spices. This wine has good acidity, is deep and vertical, with excellent tension and remarkable development on the palate, accompanied by chalky tannins and long persistence.” TOMÁS MUÑOZ, Chief Winemaker
